Women’s lax looks for strong season

The Bobcats suffered a 13-8 loss to Mount St. Mary’s in the semifinal of the NEC tournament last season. That loss capped off a 7-9 season, including a 5-3 record in the NEC. This year, they hope to improve on that record.

“We want to do something different, to have a different result,” head coach Danie Caro said.

The team’s clear goal in 2008 is to bring an NEC championship to Hamden for the first time.

“The goal is always going to be to win the NEC,” Caro said.

The Bobcats bring back most of their key players from last year, especially on defense. Returning such experience is a boon for a team that was second-best in the country at causing turnovers last year.
